Congratulations on 1100. Actually, 1111 is the milestone - I attained it yesterday, and even pointed it out, and everybody ignored me. Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo😭
But congratulations - you're catching up. You'll overtake me in no time.👏

I actually didn't see today's episode so far - will do so in an hour - but given what they showed in the previous serial, I'm not surprised. More comments on that after I actually see it.
Actually, if I were to re-write it, I'd make very subtle changes to Valmiki throughout the story. It wouldn't be based on any other version, although I might import some more rakshashas during the war, like Mahiravan, Bhashmalochan, et al. Oh, and I'd lose Shambhuka and the talking dog. Raja Ila, I'll keep - I love the story of a king changing into a woman, and ending up as a father to one son, and a mother to another - that's unique even for mythology.😆
The Sita rekha? Yeah, they showed it in the last one as well - an overdramatization. When Sita crossed it, she was abducted. What would have happened this time - would Lakshman have been abducted by Shurpanakha, or would he have been instantly incinerated? And if the latter, wouldn't Sita have then been guilty of widowing her own sister? Dude, if one thinks this over enough, this Sita is more of an Amazon than an Arya-stri.😲
Maybe in my version, I might even toss in some twists of my own, like the dhobi marrying Manthara after kicking out his wife to demonstrate his disdain for Rama😈
